Conflicts over aspects of culture have figured in social, political and economic crises past and present. Given the often destructive effects of such conflicts, how might we modify, reform or even revolutionize cultural perspectives so we can better address present and future crises? How does culture shape today’s world – and how can we make sense of its influence?
Join us as we explore how the “Culture Factor” has shaped and will reshape our ideas about politics, law, technology, history, psychology, religion, literature, sociology, anthropology, social theory, education, architecture, gender, race, sexuality, crime and design.
